Is the job description for a gay janitor different than a job description for a janitor? Seriously.
On being kinder. When the gays and their advocates in the mainstream denounce the torture and murder of children by gays with the same intensity of the Shepard case then allegations that a gay was a victim of "hate" will move me.
For example, the case of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising was ignored by the mainstream even to the extent that complaints to the Washington Post's ombudsman were answered claiming that there "was nothing to learn from the case." It wasn't news. It didn't happen in the D.C area. Neither did the Shepard murder.
But a google of the Washington Post site for Shepard, shepard site:www.washingtonpost.com, got 74 hits. The same search for Dirkhising, Dirkhising site:www.washingtonpost.com, got zero hits.
